Ahh! The Hums rant returns!

Jun 15, 2007 21:14

(Sorry for all this, but it helps me think. And I need all the help I can get.)
Okay, I'm officially confused. Of course Hums decides to rework the program the year I'm away, just to further complicate things. Steph, did they explain this to you? Or Leah, do you have a clue what's going on?

What I think I have to take, based on Prof. Laird's ( Read more... )

I can't help with any of that, so here's a hug: *hug*! It'll all be fine in the end, I'm sure.

Thank you! I'm sure it will... I just shouldn't try to plan my life without sleep. (And without a working academic audit!)

Don't panic, you're on the right track ( ... )

*Breathes* Thank you! So we take a research seminar or music or art...that's one half-credit, right? Do they care what we take for the other half-credit? Because if our degree wasn't screwed up, there would be a list of courses to choose from (at least, the course program on the website says so). But if they're being flexible...? Or did you mean a research sem AND art or music? But then there will be a trillion people in those classes, since the third years are taking them too! Bah ( ... )

Art, music and the research seminars are each one half-credit. So in the fall, you take art, music or a seminar, and in the winter you take art, music or a seminar. Although I think you'd have to do music and art in the first half if you're doing them at all, because the winter course is probably a continuation of that, but I'm not positive about that one.

I think most people will be doing the research seminars, but they are giving us that option. I know in my case, I have been dying to take music since first year, so I'm super conflicted haha.

Okay, you are a lifesaver. Or at least a reducer of stress. Thank you! I don't think I'm going to take music, as much as I'd like to... I've done music history for years, and I'd like to take something I haven't done before. As for seminars... my first choice is probably the first one (Tuesday, I think), just because my Thursdays next year are looking like death. Actually, my schedule itself looks like death. Hooray for doing two years in one! Still, if they let me register in what I want to, I won't complain about the schedule. Or, I'll complain less often.

Oh man. I feel that. Gargle. I just looked at the class schedule and figured I'll probably have 8:30 classes every single day all year. THANKS CARLETON, YOU'RE AWESOME.

I really want to take all the research seminars (maybe not that romanticism one) but I'll probably end up taking AntiquityEtc. I want to do RenaissanceEtc as well, but the timing isn't too friendly, so we'll see.

I think directed studies is the closest thing Hums has to an honours thesis type thing, but they don't really leave you (or me anyway) any room to consider doing that, what with my other majors snrk.
